"Especially the fact that it's two guys within two weeks. Romanov and now [Palmieri], Roy said on Sunday prior to his team's matinee against the Washington Capitals. They're important players on our team, and they are guys who are really hard to replace. I don't think you could replace them. But it's an opportunity for others to show something and take advantage of the situation."
"Palmieri was officially placed on injured reserve on Sunday morning. The Islanders recalled Marc Gatcomb from AHL Bridgeport to take his roster spot, though Max Shabanov is tabbed as Palmieri's replacement on the second line next to Emil Heineman and Bo Horvat. The 34-year-old Long Island native had recorded six goals with 12 assists through 25 games this season, with the final helper of his season likely to be his most famous one yet."
Kyle Palmieri suffered a season-ending torn ACL after tangling with Jamie Drysdale and awkwardly falling on his left leg; surgery will sideline him six to eight months. Alex Romanov requires shoulder surgery and will be out five to six months after a hit that slammed him into the boards. The Islanders face two major injuries within two weeks, forcing lineup adjustments and roster moves. Palmieri was placed on injured reserve and the team recalled Marc Gatcomb from AHL Bridgeport, while Max Shabanov is slotted as Palmieri's second-line replacement alongside Emil Heineman and Bo Horvat. Palmieri had six goals and 12 assists in 25 games.
